Description Terms of Sale
Item Description: Translate description
A group of four faience ushabtis from the Ptolemaic period, dating approximately to the 3rd–1st century BC. Each ushabti is mold-formed and glazed in blue or green faience, depicting a mummiform figure with arms crossed, typically holding agricultural implements such as hoes or picks—symbolizing the deceased's readiness to work in the afterlife. These funerary figurines were intended to serve as substitute laborers for the deceased in the Field of Reeds, the Egyptian afterlife. The Ptolemaic period continued the tradition of placing ushabtis in tombs, often with inscriptions invoking a spell from the Book of the Dead.
